Courtroom a Circus in Poor Red's court case delay - Opinion

Normally there would be a “For Sale” sign on a business; I’d like to know where it is actually advertised for sale. Could it be overpriced so it will never sell and they get to enjoy summer here?

Monday, I went to court to see Mike and Brenda Adams sentenced to prison. Like your article (MD) said was correct, over half of the court was filled with people mostly in their 60s and 70s who were there for the same reason.

What I really found was a circus-like atmosphere with about 12 attorneys walking around talking like they were at a cocktail party. Your photographer (MD) got it exactly right on the front page. When Mike and Brenda Adams walked into court, they were smiling like they were picking up a big check from the lottery. I guess in some way, they were.

On our way out of court I saw that same smile on Brenda’s mom’s face and said she must be so proud of her daughter. They were given another pass until March 7 and during that time are supposed to try to sell the business.

What I did do was to put their names in Google and found pages of other crimes in other states before they moved to our county and wrecked a really good business. Then, there is that little ATM machine thing.
